If a molar pregnancy is caused by the fertilization of an egg with no
nucleus, did it *ever* have a soul? (Recall that one argument for an
embryo's personhood is the presence of a complete and unique set of
DNA, which would be lacking in such a case.)

My understanding of molar pregnancy is that the abnormal tissue that is created
and appears to be a pregnancy is not and instead is a type of problematic growth.
Doctors recommend its removal but at no point is it defined as a human being.
